Evaluating Income Support Programs: Lessons from JobKeeper and Cash Flow Boost

Join us for a discussion on How Australia evaluated the administration of major COVID-19 income support programs presented by the ever-insightful Josh Parry. 

This presentation will explore methods used to measure program integrity and effectiveness, including payment gap analysis, ARIMA modelling, and randomised control trials. Learn how these approaches informed policy evaluation and built trust during unprecedented economic challenges. 

Josh Parry is Acting Assistant Commissioner at the Australian Taxation Office, where he works at the intersection of taxation, strategy and real-world behaviour. With a background spanning economics, law and behavioural insights, Josh brings a sharp, practical lens to tackling complex problems in tax administration.

We will also provide some nibbles and limited drinks, please feel free to BYO.
